The U.S. Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power to impeach "the President, the Vice President and all civil officers" for any "high crimes" and misdemeanors. This means that the Executive and Judicial branches of government are subject to impeachment. There is some question whether the Legislative Branch is impeachable. Some say yes and some no. Impeachment in the House of Representatives has only happened once in history against Senator William Blount in 1798. The charge was dismissed and the question of whether members of Congress were considered "civil officers" was never answered.
